Tuning: EADGBe Capo 2
He plays different intros on each version of this song. I usually
just play G - C - G-D - G or something like that. As long as
it's in the key, it'll sound fine...
Fraction of a Man Capo 2
FNow my old friend Harry
FNever slowed down to marry
He's in sFales, he's gone most of the yGear
He sFmiles through all his lies
With doFllar signs in his eyes
F G Riff 1 (Am F)
And he orders himself another beer
FNow Harry, he's a dreamer
FA scholar and a schemer
But he'll be tFhere for you
When push comes to shGove
His mFama called him Harold
FAnd she was one of only two wFomen
G Riff 2 (Am F)
That Harry ever loved
FThe other was a waitress
FIn Cave Creek, Arizona
FThat broke his heart
And tangled up his mFind
FMy old friend Harry
GLookin' kinda scary
G7 Riff 3 (Am F G)
Wonders if he's runnin' out of time
Now BFiloxi's got a sadness
Like a dFark day in December
FThat Harry recognizes
In alGl forgotten southern towns
FThumbin' through the phonebook
For a nFame he can't remember
Lookin' deFsperate, like a junkGie
Waitin' for a fix to come arAmound G
FSittin' playing Blackjack
FWith a hooker and a tourist
FAnd a one-eyed dealer winning every hFand
FHarry sips Black Label
GSlumps down at the table
G7 Riff 3 (Am)
Feelin' like a fraction of a man
(F) (G) Am F G F
Feelin' like a fraction of a man
He doesn't play these on Honeydew, but he puts them in on his live album.
